BCBWP In-Person Classes at BodyWorks Gym (UBC)

Bodyworks has collaborated with the BCBWP to offer in-person, evidence-based, exercise classes for people with chronic brain conditions. These classes are opportunities to provide an immersive, hands-on learning environment for students, and for participants to receive face-to-face exercise instruction. These circuit style classes include bodyweight and resistance exercises to develop strength and aerobic fitness, as well as agility, gait training and balance exercises to improve functional movement. They also feature coordination and cognitive exercises to challenge the brain.

Exercise programming is not condition specific, and all exercises are designed to be adaptable and accessible to participants regardless of fitness level. Participants must be able to stand and walk independently with or without assistive devices (cane or walker), able to follow instructions and communicate with the instructor, medically stable, and independent in making transfers and using the washroom.

If you are interested in participating in these classes, please call Bodyworks at 604-827-6959 or register your interest here.
